Careers

Description:

This is an unpaid/volunteer practicum opportunity.

The purpose of this project is to gather qualitative data to improve MAP ECHO. MAP ECHO, or Moms’ Access Project Extension for Community Outcomes, is a case-based and virtual workforce development program to increase and improve the ability of community providers (including family physicians, OB-GYNs, nurse practitioners, midwives) to address mental health issues in their perinatal (planning, pregnancy/prenatal, postpartum up to one year) patients. This program is composed of once monthly interactive Zoom sessions with didactic presentations and case consultation.  

This project entails developing an interview guide with the program administrators, scheduling and conducting interviews with MAP ECHO participants, and analyzing the resulting qualitative data. The final deliverable for this project would be a report of findings.
